Hello everyone!  Oh, I have been feeling just a teeny bit worried this last week. Just a very tiny, mini, small and little bit worried! It hasn't kept me awake at night, laying in the dark, feeling my heart going " bumpitty bump bump bump" or anything like that. I haven't felt very tense or uptight. I haven't needed hot chocolate or hot cocoa to send me off to sleep. No...just a slight bit perturbed. You are caring and sympathetic people, so I am sure that you would like to know what my concern is?  Well, the saying is that a problem shared is a happiness added, divided, subtracted and multiplied ( I was a good mathematics students when I was a little teddy! )   Hmmm... I'm not quite sure exactly what the saying is, but one of the endings may be correct! 

    Anyway, the concern that I have is...I have been wearing a shower cap this last week in the Kiosk! Do I look silly in it? I try to keep up to date with the latest fashion trends on the Teddy cat walks in Paris. Interestingly though, shower caps haven't mean mentioned as the latest " in" piece of clothing of to wear! The lovely Heather placed the shower cap on my head...and I didn't want to hurt her feelings and remove it! But... I am not sure about wearing it! But on the other hand, if we get a hole in the Kiosk roof and the rain leaks in, I will definitely be prepared! I won't have a soggy hat! I wouldn't want a wet hat because then I may catch a cold! Then I would start sneezing and coughing and have a sore throat...and I don't want to have a cold! I think I will keep my shower cap on! I am not a fisher teddy so I wouldn't be able to have fisherman's friend lozenges! But I do know Felicity and Frank  who are the Fishing teddies, so I think I may perhaps be allowed to have those lozenges? 

  I have been also having dove soap near where I sit as well. Did you know that doves have a very melodious singing voice? Often at night time, the doves that live in the dove soap boxes come out and start singing! The lullabies that they chirp are so very lovely and beautiful! They send me to sleep as quick as can be! Well, not too quick because I still want to listen to the chirping/warbling song that they are singing! Doves are very white in colour! Daphne dove once told me, that they are not allowed to eat beetroot! Purple beetroot stains can cause a bit of a problem on their white feathers if they happened to drop some on themselves! So, a dove law was brought in to forbid them from eating any beetroot.

   Well, I had best be off now. I think my shower cap wearing may even start a trend amongst teddies! 

    Until next time,

             Don't get caught in the rain

             Look outside through a window pane.

              Be very, very wary of patting a lion's mane! 

             It is wise to carry a walking cane. 

Your friend,
